Ok, Mike
I walk in and say: "I've just got to have one just like that".
What's the "ball park" number?

Was it run on a dyno? I'd be interested in what horsepower and torque it made..

Ball park $25,000-30,000

Heads are $2,500 or $3,800 alone

Are there any mods to beef up the bottom end? Those old V12 engines can use all the help they can get down there.

Can make steel main caps, but rods are the issue. These engines are not for land speed records, it is more looks.
